Its unique architecture, crystal clear waters, splendid craft and jewel shops, folk art and the island’s traditional means of transport – the donkey, make it one of the last examples of “living Mediterranean history”.

world’s most popular holiday resorts. Mykonos is a grand example of unique Cycladic architecture set
around a picturesque fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed organic cube-like buildings fit closely
together to form a kind of haphazard maze of narrow alley ways and streets. The earthen colors of the
bare hills which surround the town’s gleaming whiteness is set between the aura of an incredibly blue sky
and even deeper blue sparkling sea. Its many well preserved windmills and hundreds of tiny red-roofed
churches adds a flavor of culture and custom to the scene, enhanced even further by many museums and
the historical ancient site of nearby Delos. Put this together with all the island’s other qualities and it is no

on Mykonos, but also the white marble streets and buildings that characterize the island’s architecture.

for swimming. Ornos and Psarou beaches are the favorite among families, but Psarou is also ideal for
water sports of all kinds, including windsurfing, water-skiing and diving. Paradise and Super Paradise
beaches attract the young and beautiful while the quiet cove at Agrari beach is the place to relax.
Take a break from the beach and explore the capital town of Chora, wander the streets of Little Venice or
check out one of the island’s monasteries to take in some history. At night it becomes clear why Mykonos
is touted as one of the most hedonistic islands around, with a wild night life fit for Dionysus. The party

bars tucked away in town or along Paradise Beach. Overnight at the resort.
